UPC Polska has entered into an agreement with the alternative telco Netia under which it will sell the latter some of the infrastructure it acquired from Aster, at one time Poland’s fourth largest cable operator.

PIKE 2011 – POZNAN. UPC Polska president Simon Boyd has criticised the competition authority UOKiK’s view of what constitutes competition in the Polish market in the light of the recent acquisition of Aster by the Liberty Global-owned cable operator.

A decision on whether or not Liberty Global will be allowed to take over the Polish cable operator Aster is still several weeks away, according to Malgorzata Krasnodebska-Tomkiel, the president of the country’s Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK).
